She's a two fisted kind of girl...

Shot for week 30 of the 52 weeks project. Theme was "new".  Coloring was definitely a new experience for Abigail, but she surprised us with how long it held her attention.  I love her technique.  Classic Abigail.  From the time she could sit up, she has kept a toy in each hand, crawling with both hands full, 2 leaves if she's outdoors...so, of course, she colored with a crayon in each hand.  I think my favorite is the upper right one where she's trying to hold 3 crayons.  Lol.  I love our silly girl!

We ♥ Summer Days...

This was my first experiment with the Oh So Posh Texas Skies Overlays and Action set.  (wow...that was a mouthfull!).  I'm very excited about it as there are over 125 overlays with various skies....from subtle to dramatic.  I don't really include sky in too many of my photos because it often looks boring and white...blown out if I expose for my subject correctly.  So I love the option of helping things out to add a little color or interest.  In this case, I was not so worried about being subtle and was instead trying to capture a sense of whimsy.  Hannah was doing her happy dance and this just seemed to fit.  I think you may see more sky in my pics, now that I have options.  BTW...I applied this overlay without any directions and I really didn't know what I was doing.  It turned out OK, but I see things that would have been better if I'd had access to directions on that day.  Ha ha! 

And two became three...

Love...

Sweet baby girl!  I actually like this one in color and black and white.  I decided to process the black and white at the bottom like the middle maternity pic, in case they would like to hang both prints together.  I love this L from her nursery.  And I especially love how much bigger it looks in the baby pic than in the maternity pic.  Everything is relative....

Throwback...

This one is a throwback to a shot of Abigail at this age. Ahh....memories.  Hard to believe she was ever this small.  Glad I saved her little hat.  :)

The real thing...

Usually I have a clear preference for black and white or color.  Not this time...lol

Yankee Doodle Dandy...
